The January 17, 2001
edition of Buenos Aires' daily
Clarin reports that the
Simon
Wiesenthal
Center in
Argentina is demanding the prohibition of
sales of German items from the period
1933-1945 in local auction
websites.

Clarin's article actually
encourages these private businesses to
comply with the demand for censorship. The
sites in question are very much like
e-Bay, only catering to the Argentine
market. That hate groups such as the Simon
Wiesenthal Center are enemies of the
freedom of speech is nothing new.

Official history books about slavery in
early America, record that slaves were
deprived of their history by means of
destroying symbols and objects they could
have used as a reference to their past.
The freedom of the Germans of today,
likewise, has many arrogant and powerful
enemies who, just as early slave owners,
want to keep them ignorant of their own
history.

The message of these hate organizations
is also quite contradictory. For example,
they claim that Jews are a prosecuted
minority, thereby needing governmental
special protection. This implies they are
too weak to survive or succeed on their
own.

On the other hand, their very actions
prove that their influence upon
governments all over the world is that of
precisely the opposite: a very powerful
caste. It seems like it is them who order
the state what to do. The sites in
question are deremate.com
and mercadolibre.com.
Feel free to contact these young
enterprises and encourage them to keep
endorsing freedom.
